Connected to MQ, but cannot disconnect, error 2018 - ibm-mq

I have a difficulties with IBM MQ. I have connected to MQ, but couldn't disconnect. the message says:
2017-06-28|19:27:17| 133|Connection accepted, Channel [AVNCHCTM.CLIENT] ConName [10.155.224.179] Flags [BlockMqmUsers=Y AllowBlankUserID=Y UseridUpperLowerCase=* IQ
NiL=0 ] User []
Could you please let me know how to disconnect now? I don't have valid connection handle Hconn . Error:
2018 MQRC_HCONN_ERROR
Can I force channel to stop and what could happen after that?
May be this situation has another solution?
I appreciate any possible help

When trying to connect to Queue Manager Using IBM MQ Explorer, I'm getting error as "Could not establish connection to the queue manager -reason 2538"

could not establish a connection to the queue manager - reason 2538. (amq4059) severity: 10 (warning)
explanation: the attempt to connect to the queue manager failed. this could be because the queue manager is incorrectly configured to allow a connection from this system, or the connection has been broken. response: try the operation again. if the error persists, examine the problem determination information to see if any information has been recorded.
Please tell how do I resolve this.

[Golang]Client rabbitMQ unexpectedly closed TCP connection, how to catch or fix it?

I'm using rabbitMQ Golang client for pub and sub message between two servers, but I often get bug: "client unexpectedly closed TCP connection". My rabbitMQ client is running normaly, but after distance of time it stop.
Who can help me how check catch this error and reconnect / fix this error.
Thanks so much
Try with increased connection timeout
Check your firewall configuration

SMSC is having multiple connections with client But , Client has one connection with SMSC

I am having a strange issue. I am working on sms module for one of the client.
So, I am using Kannel to connect to SMSC server. At the very first attempt means after restarting both client and server applications . I am able to connect to SMSC with one active connections but, after some time server is having multiple connections for My IP although i am having only one connection at that time . Because , of this we are not able to receive MOs properly there is a huge MO drop. To overcome this problem we has to restart both client and server applications frequently. Which is not a proper solution So, server requested me to resolve our end as they have multiple partners and they are not facing this issue.
Background :
Before , they have provided us a ip(public ip) and port to connect to SMSC .Asked our IP(public ip) to make whitlist at their end. And they have provided VPN settings after VPN configured we are successfully connected to SMSC. They have masked our IP at their end to treat as local IP.
So, Please help me to resolve this multiple connections error as i am new to kannel and SMPP.
I had the same exact issue with another SMPP client app, it was NowSMS, and also, it was very strange as my NowSMS is connected to +15 SPs since 7 years ago, and I had no such issue with anyone of them. But, NowSMS told me that there's an understandable issue at SP's side and after a some investigations, we noticed that the SP deals with the first established connection only and ignores the other connections, although, I had one single connection only and all previous connections were closed from my side before establishing a new one.
So, please discuss the same with your SP, otherwise, share the full config here as you may have something incorrect.
BTW, did you try getting a live TCP trace from your side and SP's side at the same time?

IBM Cast Iron: MQ Put activity issues

I am trying to put a message into Websphere MQ queue from an Orchestration which is deployed on Cast Iron Live. I have used secure connector since the orchestation is deployed on Cast Iron. When I am trying to execute the flow, it fails and the message is not placed in MQ queue. The below are the errors:
Error while trying to call remote operation execute on Secure Connector for activity
com.approuter.module.mq.activity.MqPut and Secure Connector LocalSecureConnector,
error is Unable to put message on queue null. MQ returned error code 2538.
Unable to put message on queue null. MQ returned error code 2538.
Fault Name : Mq.Put.OperationActivityId : 163
Message: Unable to put message on queue null. MQ returned error code 2538.
Activity Name:Put MessageFault Time: 2015-07-15T05:40:29.711Z
Can someone please help me resolve this. Please let me know if any further details are required.
Here are the details:
Cast Iron flow is deployed on Cast Iron Cloud i.e Cast Iron Live
MQ is running on-premise
The port I am trying to connect is 1414.
Have a secure connector running on the machine where MQ is installed.
MQ version is 8.
In Cast Iron flow, I am using an MQ connector, by giving the hostname where MQ is running, port: 1414, Channel Name : SYSTEM.DEF.SVRCONN and username as mqm. Tired using my log on username, by adding it to mqm group. But this also dosent seem to work.
The return code is instructive:
2538 0x000009ea MQRC_HOST_NOT_AVAILABLE
This indicates that Cast Iron is attempting to contact MQ using a client connection and not finding a listener at the host/port that it is using.
There are a couple of possibilities here but not enough info to say which it might be. I'll explain and provide some diagnostics you can try.
The 2538 indicates an attempt to contact the QMgr has failed. This might be that, for example, the QMgr isn't listening on the configured port (1414) or that the MQ listener is not running.
The error code says the queue name is "null". The question doesn't specify which queue name the connector is configured with but presumably it's been configured with some queue name. This error code suggests the Secure Connector on the MQ server side doesn't have its configuration installed.
The Cast Iron docs advise connecting with an ID in the mqm group but do not mention that on any MQ version 7.1 or higher this is guaranteed to fail unless special provisions are made to allow the admin connection. It may be that it's actually failing for an authorization error and the connector not reporting the correct error.
If it is as simple as the listener not running, that's easy enough to fix. Just start it and make sure it's on 1414 as expected.
Next, ensure that the Secure Connector has the configuration that was created using the Cast Iron admin panel. You need to understand why the error code says the queue name is null.
Now enable Authorization Events and Channel Events in the QMgr and try to connect again. The connector on the MQ server should connect when started and if successful you can see this by looking at the MQ channel status. However, if unsuccessful, you can tell by looking at the event messages or the MQ error logs. Both of these will show authorization failures and connection attempts, if the connection has made it that far.
The reason I'm expecting 2035 Authorization Error failures is that any QMgr from v7.1 and up will by default allow an administrative connection on any channel. This is configured in the default set of CHLAUTH rules. The intent is that the MQ admin would have to explicitly provision admin access by adding one or more new CHLAUTH rules.
For reasons of security SYSTEM.DEF.* and SYSTEM.AUTO.* channels should never be used for legitimate connections. The Best Practice is to define a new SVRCONN, for example one named CAST.IRON.SVRCONN and then define a CHLAUTH rule to allow the administrative connection.
For example:
DEFINE CHL(CAST.IRON.SVRCONN) CHLTYPE(SVRCONN) TRPTYPE(TCP) REPLACE
SET CHLAUTH('CAST.IRON.SVRCONN') TYPE(ADDRESSMAP) +
ADDRESS('127.0.0.1') +
USERSRC(MAP) MCAUSER('mqm') +
ACTION(REPLACE)
SET CHLAUTH('CAST.IRON.SVRCONN') TYPE(BLOCKUSER) +
USERLIST('*NOBODY') +
WARN(NO) ACTION(REPLACE)
The first statement defines the new channel.
The next one allows the connections from 127.0.0.1 which is where the Secure Connector lives. (Presumably you installed the internal Secure Connection on the same server as MQ, yes?) Ideally the connector would use TLS on the channel and instead of IP filtering the CHLAUTH rule would filter based on the certificate Distinguished Name. This rule is not nearly so slective and allows anyone on the local host to be an MQ administrator by using this channel.
The last statement overrides the default CHLAUTH rule which blocks *MQADMIN with a new rule that blocks *NOBODY but just for that channel.

AMQ9999 occuring in AMQERR01.LOG

I have the following error showing up in AMQERR01.LOG
AMQ9999: Channel 'MGATESrvChannel' to host 'Mgate (127.0.0.1)' ended
abnormally.
EXPLANATION:
The channel program running under process ID 1060(4364) for channel
'MGATESrvChannel' ended abnormally. The host name is 'Mgate (127.0.0.1)'; in
some cases the host name cannot be determined and so is shown as '????'.
This error is preceded with following message:
AMQ9508: Program cannot connect to the queue manager.
EXPLANATION:
The connection attempt to queue manager 'MGATE.QM' failed with reason code
2059.
ACTION:
Ensure that the queue manager is available and operational.
According to what I have been told this can be caused by an application that is using queue manager, however, it seems to me that this has more to do with the way that manager was set up or similar. Can anyone please shed some light on this?
Thanks in advance!
The 2059 says that a connection request was received and refused because the QMgr was not available. We used to see this a lot when the listener was run as a separate process or when inetd was used to start channels. This is because the listener was there to accept the connection but the QMgr processes were not.
Now that the listener is run as a child process of the QMgr, it is quite rare to see this on the WMQ error logs though clients commonly see it. This is because when the listener is run as a child process of the QMgr, there is nothing listening to receive the connection request and it bounces off of the host's IP stack before ever getting to MQ code.
The AMQ9999 message says that a channel program, one of the QMgr's child processes, died or was killed and this caused the channel to terminate. There are many reasons for a channel process to die including being killed by the OS if resources are short, or being killed by a human operator. Other than that the most common way they can die due to running in trusted or fastpath mode and the attached program corrupts them.
It would help to narrow down the field to know the details of the QMgr in question - version and fix pack, how the listeners are started, channel settings, etc.
Start your listener up, you may check the Control property for that channel, so it start up automatically when the Queue Manager restart.
